MeetFounders

Analysis completed on 2/9/2026

+25
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

MeetFounders is an active event organization connecting startups and investors, but the submission contains multiple unverifiable or false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone'). External verification reveals mixed-to-poor reputation (Trustpilot 2.5/5) with warnings about founder behavior and value delivered. The project lacks technical innovation, operating as a standard service business. The 'marketcap' figure provided is ambiguous and likely conflated with valuation or aggregate capital. The low score reflects the combination of poor submission quality, lack of technical novelty, and significant red flags in user feedback.
